Abstract
NMFS issues this notification to announce that 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg) of summer flounder commercial quota available to the State of North Carolina has been transferred to the State of Rhode Island. This transfer adjusts the commercial quota for the State of North Carolina to 3,121,750 pounds (1,416,016 kg) and adjusts the Rhode Island quota to 1,946,851 pounds (883,086 kg). As a result of this transfer, NMFS announces that vessels issued a Federal fisheries permit for the summer flounder fishery may resume landing summer flounder in the State of Rhode Island until further notice.
